| Fish sauce ripens in the sunlight, so around April and May, the people of Hai Giang 1 begin salting fish because the sun is strong during this season, allowing the fish to ripen naturally, producing delicious fish sauce with high protein content and a golden-brown color. The longer it is aged, the sweeter it becomes. Photo: Quang An |
